Pollak: After Making Divisions Worse, Biden to Host ‘Unity’ Summit(No search results)

President Joe Biden is turning once again to a strategy he has used since announcing his run for president in 2019: exploiting fears of hatred and bigotry, which he falsely associates with Republicans; then presenting himself and his party as the answer.

Last week, the White House announced Biden would host a “unity summit” to bring Democrats and Republicans together to “counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety.”

The announcement came days after Biden emerged from vacation to sign the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” and to claim Republicans opposed everything good and decent in the bill:

Every single Republican in Congress voted against lowering prescription drug prices, against lowering healthcare costs, against a fairer tax system.

Every single Republican — every single one — voted against tackling the climate crisis, against lowering our energy costs, against creating good-paying jobs.

Never mind that Republicans do not oppose lower drug prices — and that, in fact, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to lower the cost of insulin and epinephrine, which Biden canceled on his first day in office. Nor do Republicans oppose lowering healthcare costs, fair taxes, lower energy costs, or good-paying jobs.

Republicans disagree about the “climate crisis,” and argue Biden’s actions will, in fact, raise energy costs and destroy jobs. But that is substantially different than not caring.

Heard this on the radio the other day and just about fell out of the car laughing. No doubt conservatives will be conspicuously absent. No, not the pseudo conservatives. They'll be there to help iron out the 'issues'. 😵‍💫😂👍

He’s probably planning on having Liz Cheney and Adam Kitzinger come hang out.

Also, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, Mittens and Susan Collins.

Given that his FBI has virtually declared half the country to be terrorist extremists, the only unity he could possibly be talking about is when every last one of them is dead or converted*, ushering in a new era of “unity” (of political thought).

*This is borrowed from a definition of “peace” according to a certain sect of people.

He should bring his old buds back for a redux of "Beer Summit." Everybody likes beer. Beer unifies.

Unity?

I can’t figure this out.

I think Joe meant Untie.

Like untie any cooperation or agreement.

“... “counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy”.


“our democracy”—there’s the tell.
